Our friends at Tooth & Nail Records have a new website up and running. What do you think? I think they need to stop signing bands to replace Anberlin. No, in all seriousness, if a T&N kid exists, it's yours truly - going back to 1995. [IVM]

One of the straight-up best bands going today, Fair, are almost done album numero dos. Get excited, and if you're unfamiliar, check out some tunes!

All In are awesome. Barring the occasional bout of over-patriotism.

Robbers & Cowards was spectacular; let's see if Cold War Kids can better their debut album from 2006 with Loyalty to Loyalty, coming out this month! You can hear some snippets of new material over here.

Mark Townsend and JR McNeely, two heavyweights in the production/mixing scene, have gotten a couple buddies together for a Beatles cover band - awesome idea, says this observer. Check out their homage over here!

Say what you will about Pillar's latest two albums, but damn if Where Do We Go From Here doesn't still rock hard. We'll go now.
